Rio Amazon Yerba Mate Tea Bags

Rio Amazon Yerba Mate Tea has been based on the traditional South American tea, Maté, which is brewed from the leaves and stem of the Ilex paraguariensis tree. It differs to other teas, because the stem and leaves are exposed to flames (sapeco in Portuguese) immediately after harvesting. Rio Amazon Yerba Mate Teabags include these dried leaves, which when brewed, have a taste similar to Green Tea, but with a slightly smokey flavour.

Traditionally consumed as a popular daytime ‘social’ beverage, Rio Amazon Yerba Mate Tea is believed to have a higher antioxidant activity than both red wine and green tea.
